Nice.

Seems to be an MIT license, so I doubt if there'd be issues adding it to
VTK.
I'm just curious to know whether it'd be appropriate to add it to VTK or
kwsys (proabably VTK given that its a whole library that might be checked
in).

Boost seems to support unicode strings too, (internally users the same ICU
library you're referring to).
